I smell sex and candy here.  But seriously folks, you know I like Completion Backwards Principle.  And I like Rick James.

I have a soft spot for "Sweetheart," and the band is from NJ, where I grew up.

This seems like a rarity from Elvis Costello.  I don't even recognize it, and I've probably heard this whole set before.

12/22/08 – Monday!  Great Tunes from…1981!!!

1.  The Tubes – Sushi Girl
2.  Rick James – Superfreak
3.  Red Rider – Lunatic Fringe (BEST OF SET!)
4.  Ultravox – Vienna
5.  Joe Walsh – A Life of Illusion
6.  Frankie and the Knockouts – Sweetheart (BEST OF SET!!)
7.  XTC – Generals and Majors
8.  Kim Carnes – Bette Davis Eyes (BEST OF SET!!!)
9.  Elvis Costello – New Lace Sleeves
10. The Jam – Monday (BEST OF SET!!!!)

BONUS TRACK:   Ramones – We Want the Airwaves

overall.. I'm glad I bailed and missed Walsh, "Gen'rals 'n' 'Trinas" and the unheezing of Kim. But DAMN! Annalisa's bonus is impressive.
